Welcome Finally Gets Bail
posted (July 13, 2018)
If at first you don't succeed, try again, that is what 18 year old Roaring Creek resident Rudolph Welcome did today in court. He applied for bail a second time for an attempted murder charge and he got it: $8,000 with 2 sureties. Welcome was charged with the June attempted murder of Burrell Boom resident Eugene Henderson Jr.

He was asleep in his aunt's house in Roaring creek when Welcome allegedly crept up from the back of the house and shot him in the head.

Now, this bail comes with conditions: he is to attend the Belmopan Magistrate's court on August 29th and on every other day the magistrate orders him to reappear. He is also to report to Roaring Creek police Station every Friday, commencing Friday, July 19th, until the matter is disposed of, he is not to interfere with the victim, or any member of his family.

Welcome was represented by attorney Leeroy Banner while the Crown was represented by Crown Counsel Janelle Tillett.
